This is going to be an ever-evolving page, as I learn of common issues people identify when setting up the plugin.

Got something you think should be on my list here? Ping me on the OctoPrint Discord @cp2004 and I'll look into adding it.

My LEDs flicker and change colour loads!

Check you have a common ground between an external power supply, and the Pi. See more (including an example video) in the ticket here

The colours of my LEDs are wrong!

Make sure you have the correct order of RGB strip selected in the strip settings. You can use the LED Strip test to help debug this issue quickly.

Can't find the plugin after installed

Make sure you restart the OctoPrint server, and reload the web interface. You should see the wizard pop up, or the light/torch icon in the navbar.

Heads up! This documentation has migrated to Gitbook! Find it here: https://cp2004.gitbook.io/ws281x-led-status/
